  • Angel Martinez SS | CLE

    Guardians' Angel Martinez: Heading to bench Monday

    Martinez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Royals, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

    Martinez had started in either corner-outfield spot in five of the past six games and went just 2-for-14 at the dish during that stretch while chipping in a stolen base and three runs. The switch-hitting Martinez should have a good chance at sticking in the lineup against left-handed pitching on a regular basis, but his window for earning steady at-bats versus righties may have closed after Chase DeLauter was able to quickly move past the left foot injury that kept him out of the starting nine for just one game.

  • Masyn Winn SS | STL

    Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Remains out of lineup

    Winn (hip) remains out of the lineup for Monday's contest against the Nationals.

    Winn will miss out on a third straight start after he exited Friday's game in Detroit due to left hip tightness. Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Monday that Winn remains day-to-day, but he's set to go through a full pregame workout to determine his availability off the bench, per Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat. Thomas Saggese will draw another start at shortstop in Winn's place.

  • Dax Kilby SS | NYY

    Yankees' Dax Kilby: Nursing injury at Single-A

    Single-A Tampa placed Kilby on the 7-day injured list with a hamstring strain, Jim Callis of MLB Pipeline reports.

    Kilby suffered the injury during spring training, but Callis notes that Kilby should return soon. Assuming he puts the injury behind him, Kilby could make waves in the lower levels of the minors this year after he hit .353 with 16 steals in 18 games at Single-A last year after getting drafted out of high school with the No. 39 overall pick.

  • C.J. Abrams SS | WAS

    Nationals' CJ Abrams: Homer streak ends Sunday

    Abrams went 1-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base in Sunday's loss to the Dodgers.

    While the shortstop saw his homer streak end at three games, Abrams still found a way to contribute for his fantasy investors. The 25-year-old has been locked in to begin 2026, batting .290 (9-for-31) through eight games with three homers, two steals, seven runs and 12 RBI.

  • Nasim Nunez 2B | WAS

    Nationals' Nasim Nunez: Swipes two more bags Sunday

    Nunez went 1-for-4 with a walk and two stolen bases in Sunday's loss to the Dodgers.

    Getting the start at second base and batting second, Nunez upped his steal total on the season to five in five attempts through seven games. Sunday also marked the first time the 25-year-old had hit any higher than sixth in the order this year, as manager Blake Butera continues to mix and match his lineups. Nunez's speed is so far his only real selling point from a fantasy perspective, as he's batting .231 (6-for-26) with zero extra-base hits, two RBI and four runs scored.

  • Jorge Mateo SS | ATL

    Braves' Jorge Mateo: Crosses plate three times Sunday

    Mateo went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, three runs scored and a stolen base in Sunday's extra-inning loss to the Diamondbacks.

    Getting the start at shortstop while Mauricio Dubon covered third base for a resting Austin Riley, Mateo made a big impact from the ninth spot in the order. The veteran utility player has been used sparingly so far by Atlanta, but he's making a case for a larger role, going 3-for-7 in four games with a double, a homer, a steal, two RBI and five runs.

  • Trevor Story SS | BOS

    Red Sox's Trevor Story: Chase percentage up

    Story is tied for the MLB lead in swings outside the zone (43), and his 18 swing-and-misses are tied for fourth.

    Story, whose 51.2 chase percentage ranks third in the majors, has struck out 17 times in 42 at-bats (40.5 K%) and is batting .119 following a 1-for-5 effort with two punchouts in Sunday's loss to San Diego. "I think the swing is in a good place," Boston manager Alex Cora told Christopher Smith of MassLive.com. "And you watch video and yes, it's same timing mechanism, hands placement. The body looks the same. It's just, 'What are we swinging (at)?'" For comparison, Story chased at a 35.3 percent clip and posted a 26.9 strikeout percentage in 2025.

  • Rays' Carson Williams: Sent down to Triple-A

    The Rays optioned Williams to Triple-A Durham on Monday.

    Williams went just 3-for-23 with a 1:9 BB:K at the plate through his first seven games this season and has an untenable 40.5 percent strikeout rate so far at the major-league level. With Taylor Walls (oblique) returning from the injured list, the Rays will give Williams some additional seasoning in the minors.

  • Jesus Made SS | MIL

    Brewers' Jesus Made: Hits first Double-A homer

    Made went 4-for-5 with a home run, three runs, a walk and a stolen base in a game with Double-A Biloxi on Sunday.

    Made went 1-for-10 over his first two games of the 2026 season, but it did not take him long to provide a reminder that he is one of the best prospects in baseball. He is playing full-time at Double-A, but one month shy of his 19th birthday it remains most likely he will not reach the majors until 2027.

  • Jose Fernandez SS | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Jose Fernandez: Slumping after two-HR debut

    Fernandez served as the designated hitter and went 0-for-4 with a stolen base in Sunday's 6-5 extra-inning win over Atlanta.

    Fernandez was likely a popular free-agent addition in fantasy leagues following his MLB debut March 31, when he homered twice in a win over the Tigers. Since then, the 22-year-old has gone 1-for-12; however, he should stick around with the team and could see more opportunities after first baseman Carlos Santana (groin) was removed from Sunday's contest. Fernandez has appeared in five games (four starts) since his call-up, twice at first base and once each at third, shortstop and DH.
